Hello everyone,
So I'm new here (bla, bla, bla)... Well, I've been searching for a fix to my problem that is that since I updated to ICS, official update from T-Mobile, "Facebook for HTC Sense" disappeared in the settings menu of "Account & sync" I just have the one just called "Facebook," and if I press Add account Facebook for HTC Sense won't show up. The problem is that I can see "Facebook for HTC Sense" in my apps list, and also when I go to a contact profile I can kind of see it. Also, when I link my contacts I just can link it to the one called "Facebook", I think because the other disappeared, and it really pisses me off, since it never updates and the contact avatars remains the same always.
Thanks for reading, hope you can help me to fix this soon.
Bump because I have this issue as well.
I no longer have the option to sync "Facebook for HTC Sense" only under accounts. I do not wish to sync the official Facebook app. Any ideas?
According to HTC.com support forum, they integrate the Facebook for HTC Sense with the Facebook apps so all syncing have to be done using the Facebook apps. Have to say goodbye to Facebook for HTC Sense now...
Yes, Facebook app does all the sync, so no need for Sense to do it anymore.
Btw, guess why I gave you Thanks...

As title.
I can't seems to get the latest facebook profile pic for my contacts listed in the People application.
I tried clear the cache for People and Facebook for HTC Sense in the application settings but to no avail.
I am able to get their latest contact number and facebook status message.
Is there a way to manually update the picture?
Please advise.
I have the same problem.
The only solution I found is that I delete the account "Facebook for HTC Sence" and I re added it. This way I force the Sense to synchronize itself with the latest pictures.
Thanks, it works, though the sync take quite a while.
just go into the gallery, switch to Facebook and then update after pressing menu
Only problem I got is that MY pic is not really syncing..
I use an app called syncmypix

Thanks for more suggestion
What may help, before syncing your contacts with HTC Sense Facebook, ensure that "People --> View --> Only contacts with phone numbers" is unchecked!!!
For some reason, when syncing contacts, this option comes into play.

Hi, I'm running a custom Rom arhd 4.1.8 with sense 3.5 and everything works great EXCEPT facebook for HTC sense. It won't even show up in the accounts and sync list. I tried downloading the actual .apk file, installing it, moving it to /system/apps, fixing permissions and restarting to no avail. I have tried removing my HTC account from facebook hoping that would "restart" it somehow.
Has anyone heard of this issue before? It really is a minor.nuisance because the regular facebook account syncs fine butttttt it was annoying the hell out of me that my pictures and statuses aren't coming up when I look through people and when they call me.
Oh, btw, it works fine on previous versions of arhd. I think it might be an issue with sense 3.5 but, I'm no expert.
Don't fret it's there but hides itself behind the official Facebook app. Just sign in using the official Facebook app. The Sense version will pop up immediately and ask for permission to access your Facebook account.

Thanks for responding. I did know that already though haha. that's actually the problem. When I choose to sync my facebook account, it will pop up a facebook window after I hit "sync" and it looks as though its going to authorize faceboock for HTC but for some retarded reason, it exits out and an error notification appears in my notification bar saying "you need to authorize facebook for htc sense. And I'm like "wtf!!! It is authorized because I checked on facebook.com and its listed in my apps!!!
So the problem probably lies in the actual authorization phase of syncing. It's really getting on my nerves. I don't understand why it would work for sense 3.0 Roms but not 3.5. I just installed insertcoin hoping for different results but the same damn thing keeps happening.
Anybody else have an answer???
It just works fine for me.

Okay, either I'm an idiot, or it fixed itself. Either way, I'm happy!!! Haha problem solved.
does any one know hoe to fix the picture sync from FB on Endymion 3.4 rom?
i seems like it work on 3.1 but something change later and it stop sync...
It is working fine for me..
Try to add the account once more after, deleting the facebook account from "Settings >> Accounts & Sync" and clear the cache
R u talking about "Facebook for HTC sense" sync or just Facebook sync..there is difference!

Facebook for HTC Sense does not exist in Endymion ROM. All the FB sync is (should be) done via the Facebook app.
I also have problems with FB sync. Contact pictures sync fine on first sync after installation, but never update themselves. The only way to update them is to remove FB account and clear data from Facebook app.
Moreover, I have one more problem with facebook app: Sometimes, without any particular reason, it stucks on "loading" screen and nothing happens. Even if you relaunch the app, it is still stuck on loading. The only way to make it work again is Force stop it from Settings/Applications menu and clear cache. Then it works again for a day or two and then gets stuck again.

Actually that's not quite correct. Although you don't see an "Facebook for HTC Sense" account, there is still a proprietary HTC facebook app in the rom. It's called HtcFacebook.apk.
In previous sense versions, you had to provide credentials (login/pass) for this application, but in Sense 3.5 if you install Facebook and login, the HTC app automatically is also able to do so.
So all contact pictures and such are done actually by the HTC app, not the "normal" Facebook app. My method for keeping things running smoothly is:
- Install facebook app from market
- Set it to not sync anything. Do this inside the app settings, not in "Accounts and sync"
- Even though you chose not to sync, the HTC facebook app will still sync stuff perfectly
What I don't know is the syncing schedule. I know sometimes it takes hours/days until all stuff gets updated/synced, but I can't do anything about that.
Cheers
my problem i s the notification is not working...
what should I do??
help me....
Thank u lowveld for the verry good answer...
beside that I love your ROM its is reall good!
I recently got the ICS and Sense 3.6 update on my sensation. After update two things happened regarding facebook. First all my contacts which were linked to facebook started showing their previous pictures, i had to delink the contact and then relink to fb contact and only after this they started showing latest facebook profile pictures.
Secondly my friend stream widget no longer updates, even when i tap the update option it just keeps on updating and never updates.
Has anyone else faced similar issues with ICS and facebook on sensation ?
I have similar problem, after ics ota update my contact were linked with fb, wich i dislike, but i managed to get rid of it...
But problem is that now some contacts in messagging (sms) are linked with fb (but not in phonebook contacts aka people)...also searching in messaging searches through fb contacts too...very annoying...
To make things worse, i have for same person contact with one name in people app (nickname given by me) and another name (given by the person on fb) in massaging app :/ arghh
Hope it makes sense (oh the irony)...not to mention that htc sense app got aproved by itself on fb...
Help anyone? How to unlink fb contacts in messaging app only (not in the people app because i did that already)...
Thx

I'm sure you mean Facebook for HTC Sense.
That actually is a system application that syncs all Facebook data with your HTC phone.
It's alright if you don't have it. It is still present on your phone, you just can't access it directly.
(For example, if you go to people and check your Facebook contacts, it will have the person's latest updates, photos, etc. That is how Facebook for HTC Sense works.)
i don't have it even in accounts i can't add account for facebook for HTC sens
or widget
Details about your current ROM, please?
Android version 4.0.3
HTC sense 3.6
software number 3.32.415.15
Is it possible for you to go to People and check your Facebook contacts, it will have the person's latest updates, photos, etc.
As for the widget, you have to use Friend Stream
yes i can check the update for contact
but i was checking for the facebook for htc sense and it's missing

It doesn't matter, because Facebook for HTC Sense is only responsible for integrating Facebook contacts into your phone and providing you access to their photos and updates through the People application. So, don't worry, you have it on your phone, it just doesn't show up in Accounts & Sync anymore.

All of the Facebook versions I've used have had the options to sync my friends into my contacts and I've used many, I switch roms very often and so download Facebook regularly.
